Thanks for your quick reply, I will consider all options open to me, I have been told that another op will probably not be considered....I actually have been totally shattered, as I thought I would be back to working full time, and back to normal again....I really appreciate all the info you provided, as now I have some knowledge about what to expect....Guess now its time to tread a new path, although I don't have a clue yet.....The hardest part is accepting this and trying to stop feeling so down about it....thank you again, and I will let you know how I go, I see the surgeon again in 2 weeks.....
